Oxy stopped working

[juliesh]

Yesterday the oxy I've been taking for pain suddenly stopped working and I'm beside myself with pain.  I know my  resistance  has gone up but upping the dose has no effect.  I usually take 10 MG at a time but even 20 MG didn't touch the pain.   Ended up taking 50 MG by the end of the day but no effect .The pills are good I know that.  Does switching to something else help and what would that be ? I would appreciate any help anyone can give.  Doctors are no help they never would give me anything  narcotic  for my IBS . Thanks

Ps according to Luke, 2 Earls is an expert on this .

Unfortunately you're right about resistance going up!  I've found that the best thing to do is to not take them for 4-5 days (which is very hard to do).  Once they are out of your system when you start taking them again you will notice a huge difference in how they work.  I have done this several times and taken over the counter Loperamide (it is an anti-diarrhea medication) and it seems to help getting through the 4-5 days.  Another med that helps get through the 4-5 days is Lomotil however, it is prescription only.  I have IBSD and get a script for Lomotil once a month from my doctor.  How do you know that the pills are good?  Did you have them tested or get them from a legitimate pharmacy?  Just wondering!  I feel for you because it really stinks to be in pain.

I know they are good because they had been working and are from a very reputable vendor here.  (Sorry about the underline,can't get rid of it. I'm a bit afraid to go cold turkey maybe I can taper off, they aren't  helping with the pain anyway. My problem isn't D,  so that other medication wouldn't be much help.  This is so scary! 

I just tried taking a Vicodin and got sick as a dog. Never gonna do that again. Thanks so much for replying to me. Thought I was the only one here with IBS pain.
